Due to take
wing in 2018 with non-stop flights from Singapore to Los Angeles and New York,
the long-legged variant of the A359-900 – dubbed the A350-900ULR – will carry
around 170 seats compared to just over 250 passengers in the standard A350-900.

The
tip-to-tail mix of travel classes is expected to skew towards premium cabins
such as business and first class so that passengers can enjoy maximum comfort
on the long (19h.) non-stop flights.

For Australian Business Traveller, this news
increases the odds that Singapore Airlines' A350ULR will sport a small
first-class cabin for added long-haul luxe, with the bulk of the jetliner given
over to business class and possibly a compact premium economy cabin.

article “Singapore Airlines: 'all-new' business class on long-range A350”
published in Australian Business Traveller.
